Description
The Forleyet is a decorative bowl in mango wood with a natural finish, round in shape, with a wide, open rim that tapers to a narrower base. Mango wood is a hardwood with a lively, pronounced grain, and this bowl shows it in two tones: a paler band around the upper half, a deeper brown band towards the base, and that darker tone again across the inside of the bowl. It measures 15cm in diameter and stands 7cm high, a compact size that sits comfortably on a shelf or side table without crowding it, and at 0.22KG it is light enough to move from room to room whenever you fancy a change.
As a decorative bowl, it is happiest holding the small things you like to keep close at hand: keys and loose change on a hall table, rings and earrings on a dressing table, or nothing at all on a coffee table, sideboard or bookshelf, where the grain can be admired. The warm, earthy colour suits a rustic or pared-back room, sits easily beside linen, stone and other timbers, and softens a white or grey scheme. It is a piece for indoor rooms, and we think it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone setting up home or anyone who simply likes natural materials around them.
Because mango wood is a natural material, every piece is unique: the banding, the grain and the small marks in the timber vary from bowl to bowl, so yours will differ a little from any other. Please note that this bowl is not for food use, so keep it for dry, decorative things rather than fruit, snacks or salad. It is not dishwasher-proof either, so treat it as a display piece and leave the dishwasher for your everyday tableware.
